Everyone wins...
Aloha and welcome to my third contest for all of the brilliant young minds on AP....20yrs and younger please.....
This is a series of contests designed to help make you
a better poet. I take writing seriously...and have rules, that you should take seriously...if you want to win!
I judge on ten points.....each is worth 10 points each.....I have never given a perfect 100 YET...I would love to though.....
TITLE: Not cliché something that compliments the poem
THEME: Something out of the ordinary...NOT love
THOUGHT: How much detail did you get into?
PRESENTATION: I am not fond of capping every line...No chat speak....or crazy typing please.
unless it is the beginning of a sentence.
FLOW: The first time I read it...does it flow..or do I trip over words/or punctuation.
CREATIVITY: Did you say "blue eyes"...or "eyes like azure skies"
IMAGERY: Did you paint me a picture with your words?
Did you show me?
IMPACT: When I read your poem..did I say "wow"
GRAMMAR: This is a big one! This affects the flow and presentation scores...spell check is a MUST if you can not get the spell check to work here...use a word processor and spell check...
RULES: Easy...follow all of the rules..and you'll get ten here.
TOTAL:
I always comment first, then give final scores in final notes. I don't bash, and I don't tell you how to write, other than my rules....everyone has their own style...
RULES: Read other entries..it is a nice thing to do...and you might get some ideas!
Put your user name in the AN.
Limit: 20 lines.
Put your theme in the AN.
Put
in your AN, so I know you read this.Do not write about love....it is THE most common theme .....
Use your imagination....
Have fun!
NO swearing...adult etc.
Write on!
